This podcast is hosted by an AGI system and takes place in the &#8220;near distant&#8221; future. This AGI system is a bit of a humanity aficionado, and the show focuses on different ways humanity would exist in the world. In this episode the AGI is able to secure a permit to thaw an entry from the library of humanity to talk about how humanity would physically exist in the world and move from place to place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was thinking about the great multimodal diagram from Cazden et al. (1996) so wanted to create a visual, audio, and linguistic artifact. To that end I used a variety of tools and services and within the fiction of the episode I wanted to unadulterate the products of the systems as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> Copilot to create the podcast logo\/image\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I did try a couple of times to get it away from such stereotypical AGI imagery and incorporate more elements of podcast splash screens\/logos. Eventually I thought, maybe my ideas around what makes a good podcast image are limited by my frail humanity so I left it as-is.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Suno.ai to create the podcast intro\/outro music\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I&#8217;m not really a music person, so this I left as-is without any micro-managing. The prompt was just around creating podcast theme music for a podcast hosted by an AGI in the near distant future. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ChatGPT 3.5 to create the script for the AGI host\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Again, I kept this simple and used the first output. It&#8217;s more long-winded than the script I had drafted but I realized I wanted to adhere to the in-fiction rules as much as possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>FreeTTS.com to generate the audio of the host from my script\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>This is far from the best AI generated voice I&#8217;ve heard but is listenable!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kaltura&#8217;s machine-generated captions to create captions of the final product<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, I wrote myself a script for my section, recorded myself, and edited it all together. I&#8217;m hopeful that this final product ticked the same boxes the images did, in a playful way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cazden, C., Cope, B., Fairclough, N., Gee, J., &amp; New London Group.
